A lot stupid, a little boring, mostly bizare... ok, sometimes you buy a film that is bad - however, I am more disappointed in wasting the time watching it. I kept thinking there must be something interesting or it would have to get better....NOT.

I found this film on VHS in my local bargain bin for £2, being a sort of on the spot compulsive buyer, I went for it.

As soon as 'Making Time' by Creation came on during the opening montage i knew i was going to love this film. The characters and interplay between them is superb (my particular favourite is the awkwardness between Ms.Cross and Max Fischer) and in my opinion, this is Bill Murray at his best (even better than lost in translation which I thought was brilliant).

The soundtrack is great, even the smallest cameos are well performed, and the director's idiosyncratic style shines through; if anything with more swagger and fun than any of his other films I've seen.

Owen Wilson puts in the best turn in this. There are some funny scenes, but the dry humour doesn't always work that well and while Bill Murray is always good, this isn't him at his best, which is a shame.

Worth watching.

I first saw this film as a sixteen year old on a family outing to the cinema not having heard of Anderson or the film itself. Family outings not being a regular thing at all for me it is extremely coincidental/fortunate/fateful that we should have seen together that night what I now regard as the most moving and funniest films about family relationships I have ever seen (On a par with the Sopranos for me).

From the opening scenes with an instrumental Hey Jude the film put a smile on my face introducing the delightful unashamedly quirky characters.
The ensemble cast really shines with no one actor trying to steal the show. The attention to detail Anderson shows is immense from costumes to locations (the main house in the film is an actual house redecorated ... Read More:

Used Price: £2.99

Taking a trip into Wes Anderson's head is like going into a parallel universe where most things are the same, but the nature of reality is just slightly warped.

And while the world of "Bottle Rocket" -- Anderson's first collaboration with actor Owen Wilson -- is a little rough around the edges, the absurdist crime caper is a jewel. And while it sounds like yet another goofy comedy, Anderson's signature quirkiness is already in place -- a heavy dose of his dry, erratic, clever wit and some lovable misfit characters.

After being treated for exhaustion ("You haven't worked a day in your life. How could you be exhausted?"), Anthony (Luke Wilson) has just been released from a voluntary mental hospital.

His "rescuer" is his idealistically weird ... Read More:

DVD : The Darjeeling Limited [2007] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Wes Anderson is at his best when he explores a small group of people -- sometimes family, sometimes not -- and explores what makes them tick.

And after the cluttered "The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou," Anderson returns to those roots with "The Darjeeling Limited." Technically it's an Indian road trip movie, and it's full of his quirky charm... but at heart it's just about three unhapppy brothers with a lot of baggage. Both literally and psychologically.

The forlorn Peter (Adrien Brody) and his luggage barely make it to an Indian train in time to join his brothers, woman-chasing writer Jack (Jason Schwartzman) and bandaged control freak Francis (Owen Wilson). They haven't spoken for a year, and now they're planning to awkwardly bond as they travel to their ... Read More:

DVD : Bottle Rocket [1996] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
The first feature film by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, who also made Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket has achieved cult status in the US. It tells the gently comic story of three devoted, would-be thieves who prove the importance of friendship, honor and duty as they ineptly pursue a life of crime. It displays all that audiences have come to expect from the duo, including, of course, many quotable lines ('nobody ever thinks of old Dignan, do they?'). Owen Wilson stars (as the self-appointed leader of the trio, Dignan), alongside his brother Luke, Robert Musgrave and James Caan.

DVD : The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou [2005] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Internationally renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou is about to embark on his most ambitious adventure to date. He is vividly determined to avenge his partner's death by tracking down the elusive and mysterious Jaguar Shark, should it even exist at all, that ate his best friend during the filming of their last documentary together and destroy it. Joining the rest of Team Zissou for the voyage are a young co-pilot from Kentucky named Ned Plimpton, who may or may not be Steve Zissou's son, and a magazine journalist sent to interview the documentarian for a cover profile. Unfortunately, the expedition does not go as smoothly as might have been planned. Steve not only has to deal with his co-producer and estranged wife, the brains behind the operation, but also a severe lack of funding, ... Read More:
